Yes, I know I know.  I am a blog slacker.  Yesterday was pretty busy at work and I was buried in rate centers most of the day.  I meant to blog when I got home but by the time M reminded me it was late and I was over it.  🙂

I didn’t think I had any wedding related items from the weekend but I do.  I had a small “hair” victory on Sunday.  Last week I decided if I am going to do my hair for the wedding myself I need to get busy.  While I was a Target I bought some mousse.  I know mousse has a stigma but really, it works great.  Anyway M wanted to go to the mall on Sunday and then we were going to a Super Bowl party.  I mean what better time then to experiment on your hair.  So that’s what I did.  With mousse in hand I began.  I scrunched my hair, added some styling cream and then diffused it out.  (For those unfamiliar, a diffuser goes on the blow dryer and helps with curls.  That is obviously the technical version.  HA!)

Let me just say WOW!  My hair was really really big when I finished diffusing it dry.  I mean like, it hasn’t been that curly since I had a perm, curly.  I knew there was no way I was leaving it down.  But before I pulled it back I used the curling iron to help make a few curls a little more curly.  Once this was done I pulled it back in a low side ponytail.  My goal had been to have flowy curls at the bottom but that didn’t really work out.  All in all though it actually looked pretty good.  I decided to put in my wedding earrings and take a few pics.  You must forgive the pic, but you get the idea.

Okay really it’s not a good pic but whatever.  Here is my hair inspiration.  As you can see I need more practice and LOTS of it.  🙂

Something similar to this but more ponytail/bunish.  If that makes any sense.  I know I will probably go to my stylist in the next few months and see if she can help me achieve the look I am going for.  Until then I will keep trying.
